On June 20, 2023, the foundation reported a hacking and IT incident that compromised a network server containing protected health information. The breach exposed the personal health data of 30,057 individuals who had received services from the organization. Upon discovering the incident, the foundation notified federal regulators in accordance with applicable breach‑reporting requirements. An internal investigation was subsequently conducted to determine the scope and cause of the security failure. Following the investigation, the foundation issued notification letters to all affected individuals detailing the specific information that had been compromised. The organization has stated that it completed the investigation and took steps to strengthen its IT security posture. These actions were intended to mitigate future risks and protect the confidentiality of the health information entrusted to it.
